Applescript "set name of" different in 10.0 vs 10.1?

I've got this applescript that I've written for Mac OS X that works fine in 10.1 and up, but doesn't work in 10.0 because of one line of code. That line of code is:

set name of file file_in_string to "FavoritesOld.html"

where file_in_string is set via:

set file_in_string to (home as string) & ":Library:Preferences:Explorer:Favorites.html"


For whatever reason, in OS 10.0, I get a "cannot set name of file RobDrive:RobGHome:Library:Preferences:Explorer:Favorites.html to "FavoritesOld.html". (Gives a 10006 error, whatever that is. Yes, IE is not running at the time)

Can anyone give me a workaround to this problem? Is there another means of renaming this file? Are file-permissions different in OS 10.0 that would be causing this problem?

- Rob
